Handsome Grade II listed 5 bedroom Manor House with a separate 2 bedroom Coach House and traditional barns in about 4.6 acres
A conveniently located handsome and characterful, well-maintained Grade II listed 5 bedroom Manor House. The property also includes a separate 2 bedroom Coach House incorporating garaging and a store, together with traditional outbuildings set in private gardens and grounds.
Ground floor
• A solid front door opens to a vestibule that in turn opens to a dining hall with a fine inglenook fireplace.
• A door opens to an inner hall off which is a door to the cloakroom and side entrance door set under a pretty pillared pitched roof porch.
• The drawing room features exposed timber frame and fireplace housing a log burner. A study/sitting room completes the reception rooms.
• The oak fitted kitchen has granite worktops and a range of integrated appliances.
• Off the kitchen is the fitted utility room with a door to the boot/plant room.
First floor
• Upstairs are five bedrooms and the fifth bedroom is fitted with Iroko wood shelving, offering potential for it to be used as a study.
• The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and en suite shower room.
• The four further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and a family shower room.
The Coach House and Outbuildings
• The Coach House comprises three garages, one of which incorporates a secure store and WC. In 2014 it was converted into a spacious two bedroom annexe.
• The Old Barn is Grade II listed and has 17th century origins. It is a large barn with front and rear coach doors. It is subject to an uplift clause for a period of 35 years from 30 May 2013 and sets out that a payment of 50% of the increase in value if sold separately from Acton Manor. This overage provision is tied to the enhancement in value resulting from obtaining a planning permission, rather than the actual development of the barn itself.
• The Stables is a traditional brick stable block, comprising three large stables and a tack room with an enclosed area in front and a gated access to the lane.
Gardens and Grounds
• The driveway sweeps up to the front of Acton Manor through delightful level and mature gardens including a quaint summerhouse.
• The lawned garden wraps around the house allowing the all-day sunshine to be enjoyed.
• Throughout are mature trees, evergreen and perennial plants that provide all-year round interest and colour.
• At the western side of the house is small formal garden with paved paths, a pergola and dwarf box hedging.
• There are strategic seating areas including two gazebos in the western part of the garden, one of which is set over a paved terrace and the other over a decked terrace with a hot tub (available by separate negotiation). There is also a traditional brick garden store and timber storage shed.
• There are three paddocks, one of which includes a children's play area with zip wires. All are level and enclosed by post and rail fencing and mature hedging.
